I hope he's actually good to go and not jumping the gun only to get a much worse injury soon. He could be a key part for us going forward on that second or third line.

This is it for Peter Regin. He needs to stay healthy and produce going forward or I'd say his time in the NHL is most likely done.
I think Regin knows this and while he obviously wants to be back sooner rather than later, he must know (or his agent told him, or at least should have) that he can't afford another long stint on IR. Hopefully that translates into him taking the time needed to make sure he stays on the ice!

Filatov vs Butler for a spot on Left Wing. Let them battle it out, the first who runs with it (well, at least for this year). If they can't do it, Da Costa and Petersson should get a try out at some point (why not try Da Costa on the Wing?)

Da Costa has been money at centre: until Regin out plays him (which may never happen) there's no reason for him to take him out of position. He still needs to get accustomed to playing an 82 game season that is far more intensive than anything he's ever known.
